Hallow’s Eve - when love comes home.
or
Can one night of magic heal his heart?

Blurb:
Twelve months ago, Hal’s world crashed and burned, taking the love of his life with it. He’s waited all year for that one special night when the souls of the departed come home, hoping his candle will summon back one in particular to heal his broken heart. But the forbidden knowledge he’s learned could call something far worse, and put more than his own soul at risk...

My Review
Hal lost his love a year ago. He has sent the last year just trying to get by. Now with Halloween getting close he is putting all his plans into use. He is a warlock and even if it is forbidden he will bring her back if he can. If he is caught he knows he will pay the price but the Circle can't stop him from getting Eve back.

This is a short story but a very enjoyable one. Hal is a warlock but he can't let anyone who isn't magical know. He fell in love with a regular human and when he told her he had to see if she could accept what he is. He never got the chance as she died that night. Now he is doing everything he can to bring her back. He can't go on without her. The story goes back and forth between a year ago and now so you get to see what led up to this Halloween night. You don't get to see a whole lot of Eve just how she acted when he told her his news. I have to say it is a well written short story and I really enjoyed reading it. I would like to see what happens next as the ending did have a good spin that I didn't see coming. If you want a short, quick read that is great for this time of year be sure to try this one.

4 out of 5 Stars

Hallow's Eve Cover Reveal & Giveaway

 
Hi everyone! I have the cover reveal for Hallow's Eve today along with and excerpt and giveaway.
 
First some about the book.
 
Blurb:
Twelve months ago, Hal’s world crashed and burned, taking the love of his life with it. He’s waited all year for that one special night when the souls of the departed come home, hoping his candle will summon back one in particular to heal his broken heart. But the forbidden knowledge he’s learned could call something far worse, and put more than his own soul at risk...

Excerpt:
The thud and chink of beer bottles and glasses on the bar announced Dan’s return.
“So?”
Hal shook his head. “Not tonight.”
“Oh, c’mon, man. Just one beer.”
Hal dropped his gaze to the glass he was still drying with a vehemence it didn’t deserve, avoiding his friend’s pleading stare. “Thanks, but I’m not in the mood.”
Dan made an exasperated sound. “Look, I know it’s nearly a year—”
Pain lanced into his chest. “Stop.” He looked up.
A frown creasing his tanned face, Dan glared back, but he shut up.
Hal sucked in a breath. He didn’t want to fight with Dan over this. The guy had stopped Hal’s life completely falling apart after last Halloween. “I know what you’re trying to do,” he murmured, and relief flickered in Dan’s brown eyes. “But I’m not ready to let it go.”
“I’m not saying you should, man. But how about getting back into some social interaction? You can’t spend the rest of your life as a recluse.”
“I won’t.” Hal smiled. Dan had no idea.
“Then come out for a beer.”
“Another time.”
“Tomorrow then. I know you’ve got the Halloween shift off.”
Hal put down the glass he’d abused. “I’m busy.”
“Oh, yeah? Doing what? Trick or treating?” Dan scoffed. “What is it with you and Halloween? You never struck me as religious enough to find it offensive, but you don’t go out and have any fun either. So how come you always take the night off?”
Hal looked around the bar at all the tawdry holiday decorations, and debated how to answer. Maybe Dan thought he was a closet Christian or something. The truth would shock the hell out of him. Especially with what Hal had planned this year. “My...family don’t see it as something to joke about.”
“Oh. Strict Catholic or something?”
“Something like that.” Hal smiled at the thought of his parents taking Holy Communion. But let Dan interpret it any way he liked.
 


Coming 8th October, Hallow’s Eve will be available in all digital formats from Amazon, B&N, Smashwords, All Romance eBooks, and most digital online retailers.
